This drive has no file systems of any sort that have any implicit or explicit use by either my -stable or -current installations. It does have an installation of netbsd and windows ME on it, and the rest is empty space. Can I get it to shut up and ignore the disk altogether ? Likewise NetBSD complains about old-fashioned disk label types when it starts, I guess it gets jealous when it sees the FreeBSD slices on the SCSI drive..again this is none of it's damn business .. :) -- Regards Cliff Sarginson -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
